What is Audi MMI®?

MMI stands for Audi’s in-house infotainment system, Multi Media Interface. It makes the connection between many of the internal systems and allows the driver or passenger control over devices and functions in the car. Essentially, it is the center console and visual display screen in your Audi that gives you, the user, control over all of the internal functions of your vehicle.

To make it less confusing, we’ll go into what all is included with the Multi Media Interface.

  • Owner’s manual
• Sound
• Radio
• Media
• Telephone

What is Audi Connect?

Audi Connect® is Audi’s upgrade package for the standard MMI found in many Audi’s today. Now, there are multiple levels to the Audi Connect® package, but with the purcahse of a new Audi, the base Connect® CARE package comes standard. Below we’ll go over the different packages and what’s included in each.

Once you get to the bottom of the list above, you have an all-in-one vehicle that is a remote workspace with the PLUS package. However, it comes with a cost. Connect® PRIME isn’t unreasonable at $199 for 6 Months (or $33/Month) or $499 for 18 Months (or $28/Month). For Connect® PLUS, an extra $10 a month for mobile data share costs and an extra $25 for unlimited data. So it isn’t cheap but could definitely be worth if you happen to be working on the road often.
